UNCEKTAUM.
Take me back oh don't forsake met
1 won’t go unless you take me,
And you’ll have to pay my fare to
make me go.
But I’ve kept my word and you’ll a-
Gree I’ve sung Ashtabula
And have done my bit for Ash
tabula, O.
I might sing a lot of verses on the
theme,
Of a girl in Ashtabula whom I
knew;
I might muse about my childhood’s
happy dream,
As the writers of a ballad often do,
But I’ll pass them up, I guess, for I
might as well confess
That the rhymes to Ashtabula are
but few,
President of Prison Aid Society (to
discharged burglar)—What can we do
for you man? Have you any plans
for the future?
Burglar—Thank you, kindly, ma’am.
I have plans in regard to two banks
and a jeweler’s.—Korsaren (Christi
ana). 1
Mildred—Do you ever go out as far
as the sharks?
Mayse—Heavens no I I never even
go out as far as the water.—Sydney
(Australia) Bulletin.
"Tou haven t congratulated our
inend on being elected to the legis
lature.’’
"Being elected to the legislature,”
said Senator Sorghum, “is more or
less uncertain. Out my way it can
mean either a good start in life or a
poor finish.”—Washington Star.
NOTHING TO RUN ON.
"tiave you ever seen a candidate
who didn't think he was going to
win?”
“Only one.”
“And what was the matter with
him?”
“The check he depended on to pay
'his campaign expenses was returned
from the bank marked ‘No Funds’.”
—Birmingham Age-Herald.
PREPARED FOR TRAVEL.
“Will you accept this portfolio?”
inquired the Berlin cabinet maker.
“I don’t know” replied the cautious
statesman. “Times are so uncertain
maybe you’d better make it a suit
case.”—Washington Star.
FORCE OF HABIT.
"He says that girl is a treasure.”
“That’s just the sort of thing that
miser hugs 1”
SWEET AND LOW.
It is not good that a man should live
without a woman in his heart. And
on that particular spring day—one of
blue and gold—I bore a strangely
sorrowful heart because of my utter
loneliness. 1 sat at my window and
stared out without seeing anything.
There was no one in the house but
the landlady, myself, and the land
lady’s daughter—a beautiful .brief
thing, whom I called the ‘“Pongee
Princess” by reason. of her blonde
hair, an acquisition precipitated
through a reckless use of peroxide.
She was calm, pretty and silent.
The more I thought of her the more
she intrigued my fancy. I remember
she was downstairs at this very min
ute rearranging the pillows on the
davenport that seemed to have spent
a sleepless night. I thought to my
self : “Ah, if she were only here by
my side that she might pass her cool
white hands over my eyes my depres
sion would be lifted as if by magic.”
I was interrupted by a timid knock
on the door. I was startled for a mo
ment. It was foolish to think that—
and yet—
It was the landlady with my waste-
paper basket.—Iowa Frivol.
Howell—Every man has his price.
Powell—I suppose the rate has gone
up, as with everything else.
ASHTABULA.
By Berton Braley.
Oh, the Geographic Ballads are the
rage,
From the Tin Pan Alley trouba
dours they flow
To the phonographic record and the
stage,
Where you hear about the chap who
wants to go
“Back to Dear Old Tennessee, where
a Welcome Waits for Me.”
“Back to”—any other place you
chance to know.
But in all the lyric throng, I have
never heard a song
Which concerns itself with Ashta
bula, 0.
That’s a town that shouldn’t be upon
the shelf,
So I’ll write a little song for it myself.
(Chorus)
Take me 'back to Ashtabula, far from
dancers Hula Hula,
Where the life is, as a rule, a trifle
slow;
Where the wintry breeze is cool, a
Fact that brings to Ashtabula
An unusually heavy fall of snow.
WEE’RE ALL HUMAN.
"Isn’t Groucher agreeable?”
"If you catch him off his guard.”
